The dorkiness continues. I adore children's television programming. Let's just
ignore the fact that I watch WAY too much of it. In particular, I'm a big closet
fan of those song and dance shows. You know, like The Wiggles. I also have a
soft spot for Steven Burns late of Blues Clues and of course, the faboo Kratt
Bros. I mean, they're cute, great with kids, and REALLY enthusiastic (and you
can't tell me that doesn't translate to other areas *wink wink*). Lately, I've
been obsessing on Hi-5 which is a silly skit/musical number show featuring five
unbelievably perky young adult performers. Each week there's a new theme, and my
kids know all the words and moves. So do I. I like to pretend I'm 'exercising'
with the kids, you know, so it's not just watching TV. I have been overheard
telling people that the Wiggly Time video is actually a great workout. Really,
the deal is: I love a catchy tune, and a corny routine as much as your average 3
year old. Just like the Solid Gold routines of my formative years, but without
the spandex and sexy moves. I sing and dance along with abandon and pretend it's
because I'm a good mom.
